Hello Everyone,

It has been a long time since my last post. Life threw me a curveball and I had to step away from all this to deal with it. More about that later. I just wanted to let you all know I am still around and changing my blog a bit. I will still be making cards but also doing so much more.

I hope all is well with everyone. I have been the worst blogger of late. Just never seems to be time since I am working on getting a new job where I work so I am studying all the extra time I have.

When I first saw Jinx by Brigid Ashwood all I could think of was the word FUN!!! I think she would be perfection for a teenagers card. You can find this Phunky Fairy at Sweet Pea Stamps.

Colored with copics, cut out and popped up!!! The big X behind her is glossed with glossy accents. 3 safety pins hold the framing behind her together. The word fun was stamped with some giant alphabet stamps!!! She was so much FUN to work with. What are you waiting for? Grab her and a few others for yourself!

Well we have not had anymore snow since the storm last week. Cross my fingers it is done!!!!!

I am sharing a monochromatic beauty with you today with a SPLASH of RED. This is Telsa by Nikki Burnette. You can purchase her and he other wonderful artwork at SWEET PEA STAMPS.

I colored her with all cool tone grays in Copics and then added just a splash of red. Matted her with some swirls and added a feather in her hat and 3 more as accents. She was a pleasure to color and Kreate with.

Check out all the great sales going on at Sweet Pea Stamps and do not forget to enter the In A Sweet Pea Dream challenge.

First off I would like to apologize for my pic of my card. I forgot my camera at our cabin and had to scan instead!!!

Welcome Spring or so I thought until we got hit with snow again yesterday. Every time it just about melts we get a snowstorm again. Hopefully this will be our last and we will see tulips popping up through the ground soon.

My card today is another beauty Caron Vinsons Art Collection called the blue Fairy!!! This beauty can be purchased alone or with 3 others at non other than SWEET PEA STAMPS!!!!! I adore the sweet innocence this artist portrays in her work. They are such a joy to work with.

Colored with copics and some stickles here and there she is framed and bowed along with a few pearls. A simple way to say Hello Spring!!!!

I have soooooo many images colored I just have to get to my studio and get them on cards. Never enough time!!!!!!

Hello everyone. I have been so busy since my vacation. Work has been going crazy. Snow up to my chest to deal with and a sick hubby.

I am so very excited to show you this card I made for my Son and Daughter In Law. On Saturday they graced me with my newest Grandchild Jaxson! He was 6 weeks early and weighs 5 pounds but is healthy!!!

This wonderful image is from SWEET PEA STAMPS and is by Jennifer Nilssons Art Collection called My Sister and Me. It can be purchased as a single stamp or with 3 others and a sentiment. Of coarse I used it as Mommy and Me!!

Colored with copics and a dash of stickles. I cut the seashells on my Cricut and popped them up for depth. A computer generated sentiment and ready for the mail!

I apologize for not commenting lately but hope to start again real soon!

This post was scheduled before I left on vacation!!! I should be walking the beach as you read this!!!

Today I share with you this sweet kitty from Karen Middleton. She or he is just darling and a dream to work with. I decided to use her for a Birthday card for my 5 year old Granddaughter. She comes with another image and a sentiment and is available at SWEET PEA Stamps.

Colored with copics and chalk on the background. I used tons of stickles in the lace of the little blanket my kitty is hanging in. I added the tiny clothespins over the ones the artist drew and slipped in a little paper with celebrate on it!!! Lace and some pearls with a heart button and bow finish the look.

I leave tomorrow for a 10 day vacation to Hilton Head Island. I am totally counting the minutes maybe even seconds. I can not wait to get into warmer weather!!

Today I show another Caron Vinson's stamps called Fall Masquerade Fairy. I decided to do her in bright colors and was thinking of Mardi Gras in New Orleans!!! I adore the innocence of this artist. You can purchase this beauty at Sweet Pea Stamps. She can be bought as a single stamp or on a sheet with 3 others and a sentiment.

She is colored with copics and a bit of chalking as a background. A thick layer of glitter on her wings and some stickles on her dress. I spritz some glimmer mist on the corners and on the bow and feathers. Do not know how it shows in the picture. Gem stones finish the glitz and glam!!! I hope you enjoy!

About Me

I live in WI and have been married for 7 years to my wonderful prince, have 5 children and 13 beautiful grandchildren ages 10 months to 10 years old. I have had my hands in one kind of craft or another since I can remember. I have made wedding invitations for 3 weddings and birth announcements for a few babies births. I like all kinds of stamps and like making my little pieces of art for all different occasions. I am now going to take this art form I love serious and try to expand it into something I can be proud of!
